I want to ask for the string. Search the file for that string. If the string is located in the file, write the line to a new file. Here is an example of a line in the file. 5/11/2005 8:20:21 PM Print Information None 10 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM PMLPRINT Document 436, Microsoft Word - owned by bkennedy wa...

I do understand how to read in the line but once I have the line I need to go over to column 70 and 71 and check to see if the letters DI are in those columns. If DI is there, the line should be deleted. Once that is finished, I need to edit the file again and replace anything in columns 3 - 12 with...

This isn't a "typical" ini file that has sections in it. It is just a basic txt file that I need to do this to.

How would I read each line in a basic txt file?

I want to check an file at a particulat column and if the certain characters appear, delete the entire line.

Then I need to edit each line at particular columns to replace the text with my new text.

How do I do this?

Bob,
Thanks for the info. Could you send em the dialog piece of your script so I can take a look at it. I also need to prompt them for what they would like to do and I was thinking I could have them check off boxes instead of asking them question after question.
Thanks, Dave

How do I change the title bar in my exe when it stops to ask for user input?

I want to run an exe from the task scheduler but would like to logoff the computer. Thus I would need to have the exe press ctrl-alt-del to get the password box up and then script the logon credentials.

How can I do this?
